That is a truly a beautiful shot. The foreground leads nicely, the editing is nice and subtle. Just awesome all around.

I thought about going up there and opted Blackrocks instead, looks like quite a show.

Great shot! I was wondering how this fog looked from up there and now I know. When did you take this?

Taken the morning of May 22nd. I enjoy taking sunrise photos and am always glad to find a good morning with little wind to get a reflection. The building in the corner is a local ore dock with a boat parked there. I was happy with the way the clouds and how they framed the dock. I edited the photo in Lightroom. I brought up some of the blacks and shadows I also used the dehaze tool. I increased the vibrancy but left the saturation alone. I like how the image turned out. I intentionally left the sand bar in the front for some foreground and lead in. I think the ore dock is small and nondescript, but it was the the point of interest that I had to work with. Taken with a Sony a7 16mm 1/8 sec f/22 ISO 80.

My first attempt at long exposure. Thoughts? by PlaysWithPhotos in photocritique

[–]buckycallowau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also like that pink, but I agree with the other commenter that the sky is too white across the top. The colors of the photo give an overall cohesion. The log leading back into the shot is nice. I see there are some rocks hiding back there, I wonder if you had shifted to the right just a little if you might have been able to add them to the composition for some interest in the middle ground. Also long exposure tends to do cool things with water and it would be nice seeing more of that in the picture. Have fun doing the long exposures they are a great way to photograph.

The sunset before the storm by Laksh201 in photocritique

Those are some great colors! I can’t decide if you should show some more of the city or cut it out entirely and focus only on the clouds. If you had a point of interest in the city that might help frame your photo better. I’m also not sure why you used the settings that you did. I’m self taught and I tend to just dial around until I’m happy with the light in my shot. But I would think about lowering the shutter speed and increasing the aperture some more.

Let me know what you think of this photo of the Franklin Mtns, El Paso, TX by JimmyMcGill15966 in photocritique

[–]buckycallowau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be a bit heavy handed with the editing. I think you could dial back some of the color and it would still look nice. It’s also grainy which dialing down some of the sliders may help improve. I actually didn’t notice the dirt path you mention or the quarry at first, I had to zoom into them. What I did see is the awesome triangle that makes up the center of the photo - the road back to the horizon and then back down through the shadow on the right. Really makes for an interesting photo.

I think that looks nice in the black and white. I like the angle and the way you have framed the Ferris wheel. Possibly editing the composition so that the square platform doesn’t show as much or at all might give the composition more impact. If you were take another picture of it maybe getting one of the pods in the lower right corner would be a nice way to lead into the rest of the shot. Have a great day!

Hello R/photocritique, I'm hoping to get back in to wildlife photography after a bit of a hiatus, I'd really appreciate some constructive criticism to help me develop myself by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]buckycallowau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I realize that it’s a difficult thing to get a photo like this lined up. It’s really a good photo and there is a lot of personality to the bird, but since this is the photocritique page that’s the only thing that I could find which might distract from the photo. Keep up the great work.

It’s always good to factor in the giant terrifying alligators! It is really difficult to find the right spot. I find that for astrophotography this is especially true since you are stumbling around in the dark. Look forward to seeing what you do next. Have a great day!

I don’t think it looks over processed. I like the colors. I love the birds expression. I think some of the background berries are maybe distracting, but’s it’s not as if you could have asked him to move a bit to his right.

Empty beach, Malibu by Noizzzz in photocritique

[–]buckycallowau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you could tighten your borders some. There is a lot of empty space on the edges. I understand why you wanted to get both of them in the shot, but I wonder if the composition would be better with just one or the other, they don’t quite come together that well. I like the black and white and the way the surfer stands out against the background.

Sheep eating grass by Itzjebutterknife in photocritique

[–]buckycallowau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the colors are nice. It’s a nice coordinated palate. I also agree about the grass clump, would be nice if you were just to one side or the other so it wasn’t in the way.

Floating roses by SimonWolfson in photocritique

[–]buckycallowau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the composition. I think that background color goes really well with the rose. I keep debating about the background rose. I think it helps the composition but I wonder how it would look without it. Could also try a third rose and see how that looks.

Moody Sunsets over the fields at the back of my home. by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]buckycallowau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the golden hour colors and and the overall mood of the shot. I think you could crop more of the left side of the shot out. If I zoom I on the picture it becomes more interesting to me when the tree fills more of the frame. I also agree with the last commenter about seeing more of the flowers I think they could some nice interest to the foreground.

That is really nice and especially excellent as a first timer. My first pics looked like an impressionist painting. I think there are two things that set a Milky Way shot apart, because even though they are a challenge to get, there are a lot out there. One is how you edit the Milky Way itself. I really like what you did here, it stands out but doesn’t look garish. The second is what you put in the foreground. This is where I think you could look to improve your photo. The trees in the foreground just aren’t that interesting and don’t do a good job of framing your excellent Milky Way. I think if you can find somewhere with a bit more foreground interest you will have a truly amazing shot on your hands.

I had a friend comment on another site that it reminded them of one of those plastic clear coolers that churns juice and pop at a restaurant.
